A phlog turned into a blog
==========================
Some people have their phlog as a stripped-down version of their blog
or gemini log. Jirka is doing the exact opposite: his phlog posts are
converted into a blog[1]. I know, because I wrote the script that
synchronizes and converts the plaintext content into LionWiki syntax.
I wanted to do the same thing with my phlog, but without LionWiki,
just with a simple Python script to display phlog text files that
I upload every night from my primary server to a backup location[2].
So I did it. The script does some parsing of the content to make at
least some of the links clickable with link type recognition, yet it
still has less than 12kB with all the HTML templates and a title image
in GIF format.
Here it is[3]. My phlog turned into a blog. Simple, but working, with
no intentions to expand it beyond its current state.
